[vimeo http://www.vimeo.com/27243627 w=640&h=360]

The Fletcher Capstan Table is a circular dining table that can automatically expand to double its seating capacity thanks to expansion leaves hidden inside the table, and some truly remarkable mechanical choreography. It is intended for yachts or the homes of people who can afford yachts, and is custom-built to order in mechanical and electrical versions. The table was designed by David Fletcher of UK-based Fletcher Burwell-Taylor Ltd.
